Oddly enough, the spinoff *could* spinoff the hardware business and it might be viable since the thing supports ADEPT DRM.
One itsy-bitsy problem: The device prices would have to go up.
Remember, Nooks sell at near cost. (And the STR very likely sells for well below cost.)
Would people still buy Nooks if they were sold above cost? Say at Sony or slightly higher prices? (STR at $129, Glo at $149. NookHD+ at $329. Just examples.)
I'm an optimist and think they would, *if* they were configured and sold as Android tablets rather that solely as ereaders.
